| Developing PMS |
Husk is working with Optima on developing a performance management system. A few days ago, a group of Husk employees tried to define how leadership should be measured and evaluated. I found this list fascinating especially given all that we've read about leadership through the Acumen Fellowship curriculum. They defined a leader as someone that
- Can implement change
- Makes strategic decisions
- Motivates and empowers employees
- Has an ownership attitude
- Is aligned with code of ethics and values
- Is accessible to subordinates
- Creates co-operation among team members and across teams
- Is accepted as a leader
Perhaps the most critical and telling aspect about being a leader is judging one's acceptance. The danger lies in confusing the varying degrees and reasons for "acceptance". Soliciting feedback & the ability to reflect become integral to filling the big shoes.
this is a really fascinating topic, and something that we are spending more time thinking about at AF.. if we claim to be a leadership development program, how can we hold ourselves accountable without articulated metrics?
ReplyDelete(also, why is the caption for the image called "developing PMS"? does the topic of leadership metrics give you cramps?)
